My Project

It will help empower my students and provide deeper understanding of the engineering and design process. It will also give them hands on solutions to problems using familiar tools while providing engagement.

These LEGO kits will help students develop their 21st century skills and the lessons can be integrated into our existing curriculum.

They will help to build confidence in problem solving skills and promote social interaction and collaboration by focusing on solutions to problems in the design process. All of this is achieved and encouraged through the love of play and includes differentiation and scaffolding for students who may need it.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
